UEFA FFP investigation - CAS decision to be announced Monday, 13th July 9.30am BST

What an absolutely disgraceful headline from the Daily Mail.

And you wonder why other fans latch on to headlines like this and hate City. Mainly United, Liverpool and Arsenal fans.

Manchester City 'to escape ban from Champions League' as UEFA prepare to admit defeat on FFP despite club's big spending and leaked emails

• There had been a belief within football that Manchester City would be banned
• But reports suggest that the Etihad Stadium side will instead receive a fine
• It will come as a blow to the strength of UEFA's current Financial Fair Play system

Has anyone checked on Miguel, Ewan or Wee Dunc? Might be advisable to lock the cutlery drawers in the Castles, Delaney and McKenna residences this evening. We don't want them doing anything silly.


Do we?

 

[domalino]

Are these (CAS/UEFA) connected though. Formally not. In practise?

So the CAS case was challenging the UEFA verdict of guilty that they had to make before punishing us.

If they are punishing us (with a fine) then that obstacle has been cleared.

 

[M18CTID]

If true then it smacks of UEFA backtracking because they realised they’d fucked up when not following their own process, along with deciding we were guilty even though the club say they provided irrefutable evidence of our innocence and they know that if it goes to CAS it will be thrown out. However, a total climbdown and admission that the allegations were bollocks would be an embarrassment for UEFA so they have to come up with some kind of punishment to make it look like we were guilty of something.

If we are indeed as innocent as the club claim then we shouldn’t accept anything in the way of a punishment but we’ll have to see what actually happens first.

On the plus side, we can keep on booing UEFA, if they fine us?

Every cloud ...

Another misleading headline, this time from the Daily Express.

So both papers that routinely attack City, are at it again.

Man City to learn Champions League fate as UEFA decide punishment over FFP allegations
Manchester City are being investigated by UEFA’s Club Financial Control Board over allegations of Financial Fair Play breaches.

PL refs screw us over but we have UEFA and FIFA on strings. FA and PL next :)

Fair to say it has been a mixed week.

Can no longer be arsed going to their fucking games never mind wasting my breath booing the cnuts.

It is a shite competition anyway.

Don’t worry Col, I’ll double my booing efforts for you, mate. :-)

 

[HelloCity]

Some slight backtracking already going on with the article with comments that we might not even get a fine.

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

Fed up with all the 'playing the long game' and ' taking a pinch'. Don't give a fuck about the CL and no point in taking the hit to preserve the club's reputation - it's already been trashed many times over. Our owners might not be allowed to spend in an uncontrolled manner on the playing staff, but they certainly can on lawyers. Fuck uefa - they've already overplayed their fucking us over on and off of the pitch hand. All the way to CAS and then go after journos involved in the scandal.

 

[blueinsa]

Its a great speech but he has to now walk he walk and do what he says.

Any punishment, even a 5p fine and he should back up his own words that we have done nothing wrong and say see you in court.

A few weeks ago the FA found that the evidence in Der Spiegel claiming City had made an unauthorised payment to an agent representing Jadon Sancho was false

If these reports are true, we should now be going after a whole raft of media organisations who have sought to smear and damage Manchester City's reputation. From my point of view genuine apologies would be enough. Some will want more.

The reputations of some journalists will be damaged forever.

That is enough.

 

[Manc Born & Bred]

Please let this be true and then watch the blood boil over. Once this is sorted I hope we unleash all the shit we have on everyone and we demand apologies from all those who libelled us. Der Spiegel must be shitting it

 

[SilvaisSkyBlue]

Oh dear .

The cúnt above chooses to live in a country that has an appalling human rights record and has had death squads killing street children openly for decades, with a President who is an an absolute thindercúnt of epic proportions, and yet this bastion of human rights lives there in luxury...

Also he is a fully confirmed dog botherer.
